North Country Charters offers daily halibut charters to various points in Lower Cook Inlet as far south sometimes as the Barren Islands, 55 miles from Homer. We have four boats running daily trips. Three vessels carry a maximum of six-passengers…a 28ft. Glasply, the 35ft "Coastal Predator" and a 30ft. Chris Craft. Our largest boat the 53ft, IRISH, can carry a mixed party of up to 16 persons or a private party of up to 22 at one time. Our Coast Guard equipped and inspected vessels are operated by licensed captains with years of experience. All of our boats have fast twin engines that get you to the fishing grounds on time.
Please see our Boats Page to get acquainted with our boats and skippers and our Maps Page to find the office and see where we fish. Also see our Lodgings page for our recommendations on where to stay in Homer. To find out about vacuum sealing, freezing and shipping your catch home see Coal Point Seafood.
On our full-day charters we fish until everyone has a chance of his or her limit of halibut, quite often a 8-10 hour day. The daily limit is two halibut per person; it’s a rare day that you do not get your limit. We provide all the fishing gear, bait and FREE fish filleting. You do need to bring your own food and drinks for the day or we can order box lunches upon request. It’s a good idea to bring warm clothes and rain gear just in case, as the weather on the water is very changeable. Also you should bring your camera or video as the scenery is beautiful and the sea life is plentiful.

We will target king salmon as well as silvers and reds. Kings can be caught virtually year-round; the reds, midsummer; and the silvers mid to late summer. Most of the trolling is within a ten-mile radius of the Homer Harbor.
